# Administrative/Communication Core

## Abstract

Project Summary/Abstract
The Administration/Communication Core (Core A) is responsible for facilitating the coordination and
oversight of all Program activities and for disseminating information within the SPORE and for external
interactions. The Core is designed for low-cost, yet efficient administration and communication in order to focus
funds on research activities. Core A includes a basic science director (Dr. T.-C. Wu) and a clinical research
director (Dr. Warner Huh). Dr. Wu is responsible for coordinating basic scientific efforts and the coordination of
individual projects. Dr. Huh oversees patient identification, enrollment, and patient monitoring in the context of
the Core.
The administrative component of the Core follows an organizational diagram for management activities.
Monitoring of research will occur via: 1) Research Project Teams, 2) Committee of Research Project Leaders,
3) Core Investigators Committee, 4) Developmental Research Projects Program, 5) Career Enhancement
Committee, and 6) the central SPORE Steering Committee. Furthermore, the Internal and External Advisory
Boards provide formal evaluations and reports to the Steering Committee. This resource funds a Clinical
Research Coordinator who interacts with the other cores as well as with personnel from each individual project
to ensure that all patient information, specimens, and results are properly collected and recorded in the
computerized database. Core A also funds patient advocate(s), who provide invaluable feedback on various
SPORE activities from a unique perspective. Appropriate monitoring of patient safety, adverse events, and
data management and confidentiality will be provided by the data safety monitoring boards. The
communication component of the Core is directed at intra-SPORE, inter-SPORE, and National Cancer Institute
research activities. The Core coordinates essential Program interactions including preparing applications and
progress reports for the SPORE, all planning and evaluation activities, arranging and publicizing SPORE
activities, coordinating advisory committee meetings, producing annual reports and performing analysis of
budgetary matters.
